Item from past apparel I carefully will conceal (5)
I believe the answer is:
relic
'item from past' is the definition.
'relic' can be an answer for 'item' (I have seen 'antique item' mean 'relic' so perhaps 'item' could also mean 'relic'). I am unsure of the 'from past' bit.
'apparel i carefully will conceal' is the wordplay.
'conceal' indicates a hidden word.
'RELIC' can be found hidden inside 'apparel i carefully will'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for relic that I've seen before include "Revered holy item" , "Object that has survived from the past" , "Survivor from the past" , "precious object" , "(Holy) remains" .)
